“With such strong signs of remission and impatience with side effects, I took it upon myself to taper prednisone from 20 to 7.5mg/day and after 3 weeks at 7.5, I see no change in my healthy oral condition. All sores healed and no new blisters. I count this as successful!”

My name is Jane Wrede I have an autoimmune disease called Pemphygoid. Pemphygoid symptoms in my mouth and throat gradually improved after stem cell treatment so that my gums are firm, I feel no pain and can eat all but hot and spicy food! My eyes continue to be dry and I use sterile drops when they feel tired and sore. This is less severe than before and not until late in the day and sometimes at night. With such strong signs of remission and impatience with side effects, I took it upon myself to taper prednisone from 20 to 7.5mg/day and after 3 weeks at 7.5, I see no change in my healthy oral condition. All sores healed and not new blisters. I count this as successful!
